The Design Standards are intended to be used as a document in whole and incorporated as part of
FDOT construction contract documents by reference. They are not developed for the purpose of
providing individual typical details that can be extracted for use in other drawings. For specific
details needed in the production of plans, the Department has an extensive cell library and resource
files that are made available in the FDOT CADD software produced by the FDOT Engineering CADD
Systems Office. This software includes a number of cells and files based on details from the
Design Standards. Information and contacts related to the FDOT CADD software are provided at the
following link: http://www.fdot.gov/cadd/default.shtm

Where can I get the FDOT CADD Manual and when must I comply with the CADD Manual?

All scopes written after July 1, 2000 will reference the CADD Manual for CADD requirements and deliverables. Scopes developed before July 1, 2000 will usually have other requirements.
Any questions regarding what to deliver before then should be referred to your FDOT Project Manager.

Who do I call for FDOT CADD Software support?

First, consult your documentation and / or local peer expert first. If this does not answer your question,
then consult your CADD Manager / Administrator.

The FDOT CADD Office can offer support as a last resort, but keep in mind that the
Office's resources are very limited. The contact list for the CADD Office can be found at:
